In the Lake District, farmer Kevin Holliday is preparing for an auction that could make or break his year. In the Dales, agricultural show fanatic Mandy Banks chases the prize she covets most - the best Victoria sandwich. It's also one of the biggest, and most controversial, annual occasions in the countryside, with the start of the grouse shooting season - the Glorious 12th. And there's a ride across glorious Ullswater on the venerable old steamer The Lady of the Lake. Narrator: Ian McMillan;

A Wensleydale farmer bids to become England's champion sheepdog trialler, the Muker Silver Band perform at the annual village show, and a blacksmith crafts an ornate horn burner.
